Another IFB-KJVO Preacher Arrested for Child Molesting
Chester Mulligan, formerly a pastor in East Chicago (a stone's throw from Hammond,Ind), and a recipient of a Hyles-Anderson honorary doctorate, has been arrested in Oklahoma on charges of having relations with a 14 year old girl. The alleged victim, now 20, has come forward. Mulligan is awaiting extradition back to Indiana. He has been advertised as IFB-KJVO on several KJVO-church web site directories.


The news broke on the FFF just as several of us were arguing about total depravity and the Christian's inability to live by good works by his own efforts. Such a startling piece of evidence of total depravity in yet one more IFB-KJVO preacher who engages in legalism seems to have had some effect. I have seen no more posts from Marty Braemer or BAPTIST since the news broke.

If you're unfamiliar with he doctrines of the Grace of God and how Christ preserves His people from sin, let me draw your attention to the incident in which Christ bid Peter to come walk to Him over the waves of water. Peter did so, waiting for His command to him to walk on water and then keeping his eyes fixed on Christ as he did so. Yet when Peter took his eyes off Christ and focused on the waves and his own inability to really be doing this, he sank. This is the life of faith. The Christian cannot overcome the indwelling sin that is his nature. But Christ is our salvation and Christ is our righteousness. We focus on our Savior, our righteousness with God. And like Peter, focused on Christ, we can walk over the raging turmoil of what we are by birth. The life of the Christian must be lived by faith. Our salvation comes by Christ, not our own works, and our sanctification comes by Christ, not our own works. Rather, He works in us.
